they are out of their everloving minds if they think twitter or facebook are 'cool'. out of their everloving minds.
this place is organized. I don't want to get a twitter account to discuss May we make them proud! I don't see how their 'other avenues' are acceptable in this capacity.
Oh God. Fortune

Exactly DB. These boards were one neat organized place to discuss anything movie or TV show related. I'm late in adopting social media, but I don't see how it could be the same.
Many of the former members of this site will in all likelihood migrate primarily to one or two places, perhaps Facebook or Twitter, but everyone's going to be scattered about now. One of the IMDB members from the survival tv shows that I followed just created a Facebook page, so we'll probably see a lot of this, along with the already existing pages. I plan on creating a Facebook user account that is as close to my IMDB name as possible, so as to better be able to keep up with former IMDB members. -

I don't do twitter, I can't stand printrest and I got on facebook a few years ago and I couldn't get off fast enough!
although, it is funny to see a facebook page with a tv/movie character's NAME and 'PROFILE' that is funny.
Oh God. Fortune

As many years as I have been a hardcore internet user, I never bothered to sign up for fakebook or twitter. Something about it just didn't appeal to me. I'm only considering it now because of these boards being shutdown. I am on Pinterest, since it's the only way to view their galleries.

Oh God. Fortune

This is a stupid decision.
The only reason I come every day to imdb is for the message board. I don't have anywhere else to talk about the show. How will I talk about Charles'broken ribs now.
I'm going to miss these boards, I had a great time and it was fun talking with you guys! -

IMDB is going to lose a lot of traffic over this decision
Well, too bad for them.
The boards are a huge part of the website,the only reason people use IMDB is for the message boards. Do they expect us to talk movies on Twitter or their Facebook page ?
Is there another (LHOTP) discussion boards similar to this one? -

That's kind of what I'm hoping for Anna. The ideal situation is a place where boards for all of these shows already exist for the most part, and everyone just congregates there instead, without missing a beat. A place such as facebook, while not necessarily ideal, means that you can have one account and still have access to the same shows as here, as opposed to having different accounts all over the place at private boards. It's for this reason that I will create a facebook, and perhaps even a twitter account.
But I have seen more than a few private Little House Forums out there, if that's more to your liking.
